Lot of short minded people on this board. Shocker, y’all will learn.

 Quite frankly he should already have a contract offer from Tepper. He's already earned a 4 year stint

I'm ready to run through a wall for him, and I'm as old as dirt.

What happened yesterday was something that I don’t think Rhule ever had…..a signature win. 
 

Going into Seattle in December with their playoff/Division hopes in front of them, and leaving with a confident W was huge for Wilks and Co.

 

YEAH!!!!

[Basbear]

after a win, everyone is happy/hype..

Wilks has won me over  Add Frank Reich

But has anyone considered Wilks may have other bidders?

would there be anything more Panther-like?

i think for this year it's fine. i think even going forward it will still be good to have a team that can bully with the run the way we do. 

the problem is that we don't have much of a choice. we certainly don't have a QB that can help us out in a shootout so that's definitely going to have to be addressed, along with a pass catching TE or two.  i don't think we need a personality change as a team, tbh. i like the pounding culture. we just need to add to it, add the capability to kill through the air if needed. 

but i have to admit loving watch that seattle defense get wore out because we keep battering away. adding more of an air game to it can only thin out the defense more. i mean the way we're loading up at the line with big bodies, it's only a matter of time before defenses start stacking the box and shutting us down. we don't have much to spread the ball and them out. 

if wilkes can keep this aggressive nature going and building, i really don't care what our philosophy is otherwise. more than half the battle is getting players bought in to whatever mindset you are trying to instill. if it's aggressive, situationally aware, and disciplined (which this team seems to be), it will go along way in being successful.

i was big on getting some offensive brain to make us one of those flashy offenses that will pile on the points, but i'm really warming up to the idea of wiles being that guy. Just get him a better OC and QB and TE and i think we're set.

This to me is the key part here. In the 2022 NFL, we should be beyond one-dimensional smashmouth football...it should be punishing football where opponents are demoralized by the offense on the ground AND through the air, plus a lights-out, opportunistic D and special teams. We already had this in 2015. Again, that's why we need a QB that can impose his will on a defense to go along with a run game that threatens to. We should be able to exploit all their attacks, not just bullying on the ground.

if Darnold keeps playing mistake free football and moving this offense look out

If we can keep getting smart play out of Darnold, we could be a legit threat if we sneak in. 

Pardon the bump, fellas...

 

But may I point out that Sam had one throw at the start of the game(i believe) that was almost picked and made a poor decision in forcing a ball to Tremble who was covered in the endzone instead of running it in himself (he had wide-open space)?

It wasn't exactly mistake-free football from him.

He was fortunate he wasn't picked (That could've set the tone for the whole game right there) and we lost points on the latter. 

 

For those here saying we need a QB, yeah you damn right we need a QB.

I'm pretty sure this would be his first choice.

His love for the Panthers is clear, so yes.

My point is  that his success so far, and especially if we go 3-1 to finish, and he is an available black HC who became a coach of the ear candidate down the stretch.  If I had an opening I would sure put him on the invite list  (maybe not Arizona, lol!) for an interview.

Baltimore is barely better. After beating us by 10, they lost to Jax and beat Denver and Pittsburgh by a combined 3 points

Is it okay that we add that baltimore won those two games against Pittsburgh and Denver with a 2nd and 3rd string QB?

I'd agree.
